LONGi recently introduced the Hi-MO 6, a solar module designed for the global distributed consumer market. The Hi-MO 6 achieves a maximum efficiency of 22.8 per cent in mass production.

HPBC (Hybrid Passivated Back Contact) is a new generation of high-efficiency solar cell technology that’s unique in its front-side busbar-free design. HPBC cell technology can considerably improve the cell’s light absorption and photoelectric conversion capabilities by adjusting the cell’s internal structure, and can thus effectively increase the module’s output power. Modules equipped with HPBC cell technology can generate a greater volume of energy under high-temperature and low-irradiation conditions and also have superior power degradation performance.
Four series ranging from 72 to 54 cells
The Hi-MO 6 employs back contact soldering, which uses the one-line soldering structure rather than the traditional Z-shaped structure, which, according to LONGi, makes the module more resistant to cracking. The Hi-MO 6 comes in four series – Explorer, Scientist, Guardian and Artist – all of which are in the standard M10 size (182mm) and are available with 72, 66, 60 and 54 cells, respectively.

LONGi also offers the option for more safety and optimization by pre-installing the Smart Optimizer. In the event of a PV system failure or module shading, the back-end system may be remotely monitored and optimized in real time using feedback from the Smart Optimizer’s 'digital brain'. (mfo)
